High above the dry, desolate wastelands the Gryphons sleep… do you dare wake them?

Cyradon, a continent in the Gryphon World, is a brand-new world setting for HARP and Rolemaster Fantasy Role Playing.

Far away, under a sky filled with unfamiliar stars, stands an ancient city built in a time before the empires of the north fell. Nestled in a mountain range at the center of a vast desert wasteland, the city is carved into the remains of a dormant volcano. In the highest reaches of tha city, in rooms carved from the mountains, the gryphons watch and wait…. Cyradon is waiting. The long forgotten things stir in their sleep.

On Cyradon elvish kingdoms strive to carve out an existence on the borders of a continent petrified by magical fire through political intrigue and martial might. In the cracks and forgotten places, the gnomes sruggle to preserve what life there is as well as restore the damage done by the great cataclysm. to the west, the civilized, literate Nagazi lizardmen guard the ancient knowledge of the Mirthrans – that may be the key to the salvation of Cyradon. Most of the Gryphons keep to themselves in their eyries, settling only their exils and castoffs to stand guard over the ruins of the forgotten city. How will the races of Cyradon react to a new influx of humanity? Will the huans choose to stay here since the world they knew was shattered?

This is a time when new destinies, alliances, and battle lines will be forged!
